Platform: A version of GM’s Epsilon architecture, likely the E2XX platform that’s found under the new Chevrolet Malibu. As such, interior room should increase compared with the current Regal, which uses an older version of the front-drive-based Epsilon II platform.
Powertrain: A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder mated with GM’s new nine-speed automatic transmission, similar to the unit in the 2017 Malibu, where it makes 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Expect GM to scrap the current Regal’s base engine, a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter four-cylinder, although a smaller-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder such as the Malibu’s 1.5-liter unit is a possibility on lower trim levels. The Regal GS may use a higher-output version of the same 2.0-liter turbo, possibly with upwards of 300 horsepower. We don’t know if the six-speed manual offered in the current Regal GS will stick around, but we certainly hope it does.
